Configuració
1. Instal·lació del ventilador
Mount the Phanteks M25-140 D-RGB fans to your PC case, heatsink, or radiator using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the fan is oriented correctly for desired airflow (intake or exhaust).
Figure 3: Proper orientation and mounting points for the fan.
2. Daisy-Chain Connections
The M25-140 fans feature daisy-chain cables for both PWM (fan speed) and D-RGB (lighting) connections, simplifying cable management.
- PWM Daisy-Chain: Connect the short PWM cable from one fan to the PWM input of the next fan. The last fan in the chain will have a single PWM cable to connect to your motherboard's 4-pin fan header.
- D-RGB Daisy-Chain: Similarly, connect the short 3-pin D-RGB cable from one fan to the D-RGB input of the next fan. The last fan's D-RGB cable will connect to your motherboard's 3-pin D-RGB header (or a compatible D-RGB controller) using the provided adapter if necessary.

3. Motherboard Connection
Connect the final PWM cable from your fan chain to an available 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard. Connect the final D-RGB cable to a 3-pin +5V D-RGB header on your motherboard. If your motherboard uses a different D-RGB standard, use the included adapter cable.
Instruccions de funcionament
Control de velocitat del ventilador (PWM)
The M25-140 fans support PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for dynamic speed control. You can manage fan speeds through your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated fan control software provided by your motherboard manufacturer. This allows you to set custom fan curves based on system temperature, balancing cooling performance with noise levels. The fan operates within a speed range of 500 to 1800 RPM.
D-RGB Lighting Control
The integrated D-RGB lighting can be controlled via your motherboard's RGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) when connected to a compatible 3-pin +5V D-RGB header. This allows for synchronization of lighting effects across your system and customization of colors and patterns.

Rendiment acabatview
The Phanteks M25-140 D-RGB fans are designed for superior cooling, particularly in demanding scenarios. They demonstrate strong performance in both case airflow and radiator applications. When used as case fans, they effectively reduce CPU temperatures, even outperforming some established 140mm fans in certain configurations. For radiator cooling, the M25-140 fans excel, capable of maintaining significantly lower water temperatures compared to other high-performance fans, especially when pushing higher thermal loads. While they may exhibit higher noise levels at maximum RPM due to their high airflow capabilities, their noise-to-performance ratio remains competitive, offering efficient cooling without excessive noise at lower speeds.
Manteniment
Neteja
Regular cleaning of your fans is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and longevity. Dust accumulation can impede airflow and increase noise levels. Use a can of compressed air or a soft, dry cloth to gently remove dust from the fan blades and frame. Ensure the fan is powered off and disconnected from the system before cleaning.
Bearing Longevity
The M25-140 fans utilize a durable Hydraulic Bearing, designed for long-term reliability. The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is rated at 30,000 hours at 50°C, indicating a robust and long-lasting operational life under typical conditions.
Resolució de problemes
- El ventilador no gira:
- Ensure the 4-pin PWM cable is securely connected to the motherboard fan header.
- Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to confirm the fan header is enabled and configured correctly (e.g., not set to "disabled" or "manual 0 RPM").
- Verify that your power supply is providing adequate power to the motherboard and fan headers.
- D-RGB Lighting Not Working:
- Confirm the 3-pin D-RGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible +5V D-RGB header on your motherboard or D-RGB controller. Note that this is different from a +12V RGB header.
- Install and open your motherboard's RGB control software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync) and ensure D-RGB control is enabled and configured.
- Check for any loose connections in the D-RGB daisy-chain.
- Soroll excessiu:
- Adjust the fan speed via your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or fan control software. Lowering the RPM will reduce noise.
- Assegureu-vos que els cargols de muntatge estiguin ben apretats per evitar vibracions.
- Clean any dust accumulation on the fan blades or frame.
